    I can get about about 170-180 out of a tank before the light starts flashing, which by my reckoning is about 60-65mpg. Any better than that and you'll be riding an Enfield! :eek:

    I have been tempted..... look even better, & slower, with a chair fitted! I seem to have developed a rather unhealthy fascination with sidecars of late. Quick somebody give me a good slapping! :eek:

    Never, like Trikes (which IMO, look ridiculous) they are in fact the worst of both worlds, slower than a car, but open to the elements. Chairs don't much like turning either, preferring to go straight on when you're trying to get 'em to to go left & right. But it has to be the right bike to fit a chair, to give it a proper retro look. I've seen a Hayabusa & a ZRX1200 with chairs attached, what's that all about? That's just bonkers. :eek:

    I remember the sidewinder, it was introduced as a way of getting RD250 owners around the new (at the time) 125cc learner laws, pretty weird piece of kit. Fortunately I passed me test on a 250 suzuki. :biggrin:

    I once built a scaled down sidecar chassis for a mini-Moto for a guy called Paul Sinclair, he mounted a scaled down hearse body on it and used it for publicity for his Motorcycle Funeral business; it was rideable if you were quite little.
    He also has the land speed record for his Hyabusa motorcycle hearse
